Who is your favorite "noirish" writer?
************ James Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice is
about as good as it gets. Gresham's Nightmare Alley is
wonderful. So is the movie, with an extra ironic twist at the
end that improves on an already great story line. Ellroy's
Black Dahlia, too.
McCarthy's Blood Meridian is noirish, I guess, but it's just
about in a different league than the above. Faulkner's
Sanctuary. Crane's Maggie. Willeford's Burnt Orange Heresy.
D'J Pancake's stories. Franklin's stories in Poachers.
Charles Williams's River Girl.
Good stuff. Read it.
